Frankfort Regional Medical Center has entered the 2013 Medline Pink Glove Dance Competition for a chance to win a $25,000 donation to the Kentucky Pink Connection and international social media attention—and needs your vote, hospital officials said in a news release.

Members and friends of the Second Brigade Motorcycle Club (SBMC) met at the Lawrenceburg Walmart parking lot to head out on their “mission” Sept. 29, according to a news release.
The club raised over $1,400 on one of its poker runs to help veterans, and this year the SBMC chose the Thomson-Hood Veterans facility in Wilmore.
“The club’s main focus and mission statement is to help, support, encourage and love all veterans and especially the Vietnam veterans,” event organizers said in the release.

Dinky Gowen, Master of Illusion, will perform Saturday, Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. at the Anderson County Middle School, the Lawrenceburg Lion’s Club announced.
Gowen will replace Roger Despard’s Grand Illusion Magic Show, which has highlighted the event for the past 15 years but who has since retired.
The show, featured each summer at the Beech Bend Amusement Park in Bowling Green, will include escapes, illusions, fire eating and comedy.
